Latest banter on whatever...

Christina Aguilera was on Carpool Karaoke this week to sing some of her classic hits.

'Fighter', 'Dirrty', 'Beautiful' and 'Genie In A Bottle' all received the nostalgic treatment. 20+ years into her career, and 'Stripped' still remains one of the most influential pop albums of her era.

According to TMZ, the former manager of Mariah Carey claims the singer sexually harassed her.

Stella Stolper claims the singer was always naked and did sexual things around her. She accuses Mariah of not taking her bipolar disorder medication. *sigh* Stella was going to out Mariah for being bipolar, which is what might have forced Mariah's hand in the first place. SMH.

Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson had some concerns over her epic Coachella set.

She was afraid Coachella's audience would not understand her cultural performance. My first thought was that the performance was unapologetically very black. But that's not the reason why her performance was so good.

Mariah Carey is being sued by ex-manager Stella Stolper for 'breach of contract.'

According to TMZ, Stella says MC owes large sums of money, and is suing for violation of the US Civil Rights Act, a Violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act. Mariah did well to get rid. Stella was tarnishing her legacy. Just remember, when you sleep with dogs, you get fleas.

Tinashe's new album 'Joyride' is predicted to sell just 5-7K in pure sales.

Horrible, but totally expected. That number is bumped to 15-20K with SPS. Tinashe recently told Cosmopolitan that she cried for two days when RCA forced her to release 'Flame' as a single. Looks like she has a lot more crying to do.

Brandy's hinting that her next studio album could be dropping via eOne Entertainment (more proof.)

What's in a hashtag? The answer to that is a lot! The singer, who is being managed by Primary Wave, has been working on a new album (as confirmed by herself multiple times.) The question is, how long will we end up waiting for it?

Love the look, and you can see it in action below. Rihanna watched The Weeknd’s set, but all eyes will be on Beyoncé tonight when she allegedly performs with Destiny's Child. Soda and snacks at the ready!

This week, Mariah Carey opened up about her battle with bipolar disorder to People magazine.

This was very commendable of her, and shows great courage. There's a horrible stigma and ignorance surrounding the condition in which sufferers are pegged as "crazy." Mental illness is no joke, and someone of Mariah's caliber and status could actually help those too embarrassed to seek additional help.

Beyoncé has reportedly added another 90 back-up dancers to her 'Coachella' set next week.

That's in addition to the dozen that have already begun 11-hour rehearsals with her. The set will "have all the fixings of an epic performance - lights, visuals, the works," TMZ reports. The hype machine begins, but will she be serving different this time?

Tinashe delivered choreography and lots of it during her 'No Drama' performance on Good Morning America.

She's a cute little performer, but her music is horrible. I'm seeing some star quality, but no punch. When Ciara started out she was hitting it, but I don't see it with Tinashe. 'Joyride' is due on April 13th.

MAC Cosmetics announces a June 20th release date for their Aaliyah collection.

The collection will be inspired by the many looks inhabited throughout her short-lived, but very prolific music career. Hopefully, this isn't just limited to the United States, but internationally as well. Aaliyah (who was also a MAC fan) was loved everywhere.

The RIAA confirms Rihanna is the #1 most certified artist for Digital Songs of all time (124m certified units.)

Rihanna's hit-making factory has been an unstoppable force since she first debuted on the scene 13 years ago. Those hits will only continue when she releases her next studio album (currently in the works as confirmed by several producers.) Congrats Riri!

Beyoncé is getting ready for her massive Coachella performance with 11-hour rehearsal days.

Seven security guards are patrolling a high-profile L.A. studio that's been booked solely for herself, her dancers, choreographers, technicians and other members of her crew. She headlines Coachella on April 14th and 21st and kicks off her 'On the Run II' tour on June 6th. You ready?

Tinashe taps Ty Dolla $ign and French Montana for her latest single, 'Me So Bad.' The vibrant visuals are below.

The song is a bit dated, but the video will have you longing for summer (we've encountered heavy spells of snow lately). The Island-flavored bop is set to appear on her second studio album 'Joyride', which is due April 13th.
